‘Veronica Mars’ fan-favorite joins ‘The Originals’

Veronica Mars fan-favorite Jason Dohring has joined The Originals Season 3 on The CW. He will play Detective Will Kinney, who is out to “bring the forces of evil to justice” in the New Orleans-based Vampire drama.

The man all Marshmallows knew and loved as Logan Echolls on the CW/UPN’s canceled-too-soon series Veronica Mars is heading down to New Orleans this season.

Dohring will first appear in the third season premiere of The Vampire Diaries spinoff series as Detective Will Kinney, who is described as smart and confident with a very clear sense of right and wrong. Detective Kinney is out to bring the forces of evil to justice. And while he doesn’t know exactly what’s going on in New Orleans when it comes to supernatural beings essentially ruling the city from the shadows, he has a strong suspicion that something strange is happening beneath the surface of the city.
